Troy's girls; Erica & Frank; Tamara & KC

I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday weekend. It was the Memorial Day holiday and I hope everyone took a moment to pray for our troops in Iraq.

It was a busy weekend! Two weddings and a family portrait session. I told Troy, my UPS delivery man, that I wanted to take some family pictures for him as a "Thank You" for the excellent way he has taken care of me and my wife's UPS deliveries. He stops by our home 2 to 3 times or more every week and makes a return trip the same day if he misses us and suspects it's something we need that day. He's a gem and I wanted to show him our appreciation. On Sunday I took pictures of his family. He's been married to Tonya, his high school sweetheart for 17 years and they have two beautiful daughters. Here's one of the pictures:




I had a back-to-back at the Sanctuary in Sedalia. The Sanctuary is a private country club and golf course that most golfers will sell their soul to play on. Charles Brinton (CR), and his beautiful wife Tiffany photographed with me on Saturday. I had the pleasure of shooting Tiffany's bridal session and their engagement photos last year. Since then, we've become great friends and they are becoming a great photography team! I love working with them!

Here's a few images from Erica and Frank's wedding on Saturday. The Sanctuary is a beautiful place, but they took it to another level. Judy Stevenson, the event designer, hooked it up! The band, Heartbeat, tore it up! And Michele Willett, the wedding coordinator kept everything on schedule.










Tamara and KC were married on Friday at the Sanctuary. After covering their rehearsal and dinner on Thursday, I knew the wedding would be something special. And it was! Tamara was a stunning bride! They danced up a storm at their reception with the music provided by Funkiphino, who have just released a new album. They are a hot band!









I also want to take a moment to thank Kelsey, Kevin, David, and the rest of the staff at the Sanctuary. They are the best. I love photographing there because I know everthing is going to be correct and done in a first class manner. I'll have the honor of photographing Kelsey's wedding next May. I can't wait!

Be sure to check out the "newlyweds" section of my website for more images from these weddings. They should be up within the next week.

Bright Moments,
Travis
